Hilton Hawaiian Village Waikiki Beach Resort

Hilton Hawaiian Village Waikiki Beach Resort

8/10 Good
"We had an emergency right outside our room at night and the sprinklers in hallway were activated and siren going on. To me there was a little bit of a delay in hotel Maintenance to respond to this incident. When finally the sprinklers were turned off in hallway, outside our room was flooded and our Hoka tennis shoes were soaked. All we received was a sorry and $100 credit. Our Hoka tennis shoes are worth over $300. Not very happy with management to ONLY offer us just $100 credit. My wife and I were not happy and were more disappointed and next time might go elsewhere. This was suppose to be our 25th anniversary."

What is a historic hotel like in Waikiki?
Historic hotels give guests the opportunity to stay in a place recognised with a national historic designation. Historic hotels throughout the world can take the form of stately homes, palaces or even lodges, old police stations or skyscrapers — any place of special interest. These types of hotels in Waikiki typically preserve authentic characteristics like traditional architecture and period features in their public spaces or guestrooms.
What is the difference between a historic hotel and a heritage hotel?
The two are similar. The term "historic hotel" is more common in the U.S., while you'll often hear "heritage hotel" in Asia and Europe. Historic hotels tend to put more importance on the physical building and architecture. A heritage hotel draws meaning mainly from the cultural value that the place has and how it inspired the surrounding community.
Do historic hotels in Waikiki have modern facilities?
Yes. Every effort is made to preserve treasured traditions and historic facades, but interiors include modern conveniences and safety features. Guests should expect the popular amenities you'd find in a hotel such as private rooms with updated bathroom facilities, heating and air conditioning, and free and fast Internet. In Waikiki, booking a historic hotel doesn't mean you will stay in a place that's rundown.
